Elementary

Welcome!

Spring in BCSC means warmer weather and new activities. It can sometimes be difficult for our younger students to concentrate on their studies when the sun is out and they are itching to be outside. Please help us take advantage of every educational day on the calendar by scheduling personal or doctor appointments after school hours, when possible.

Continue to keep a consistent bedtime routine at home, even as the days get longer and the sun is out later in the day. Well rested students perform better in the classroom. As always, we strive to provide every student a quality educational experience up to the very last day of school.

Children who will be entering Kindergarten this fall (2019-2020) or elementary students not previously registered, will need to register at their neighborhood school. You may register between the hours of 9:00am-2:00pm, Monday through Thursday.

All parents must present the following items to enroll their child for school: the child's birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency. The proof of residency can be a utility bill (not a cell phone bill), but the address reflected must match the student's home address.
